Following the winter solstice, the bees sense that the days are starting to get longer again. Could our queens be in there starting to lay eggs, so the population will be strong come springtime? Hard to know for sure what's happening inside, but with the 49 degree weather, the front door of hive #2 was abuzz with activity today! #qgardensbees #communitybeekeeping

Wondering what all this pallet wood is for? Well...we are thrilled to announce that we've received a Recycle and Reuse Grant from @citizenscommittee ! This wood will be used toward reinventing the back of the garden to create a workshop area for upcycling and repair projects. Help us get the building started at our workday this Sunday at noon!! All are welcome! #nyczerowaste #reuseandrepair #stopwaste

As the garden starts to go dormant for the winter, this celery and sage is right on time to brighten our Thanksgiving meal...and this lemon balm will make some welcome, calming tea as meal prep begins 🦃 #fallgardenabundance #communitygardening

Bees peeking out the back door after Brooklyn's first snow fall! Their hives are now covered in tar paper to help insulate them from the chilly weather to come ... #qgardensbees #communitybeekeeping

The temperatures are beginning to drop and we are savoring our last days of buzzing bees before they settle in for the winter. These bees are crowded around the back door because, just inside, there is feasting happening on 2:1 sugar water syrup (mixed with lemongrass and spearmint essential oils). This year, we enter winter with three strong hives.... Fingers crossed!! 🐝 #communitybeekeeping #qgardensbees

Lots of enthusiasm for the new @bqlt field guide and compost cycle sign at the BQLT Celebration of Gardens yesterday! Yess! #communitygardening #environmentalstewardship @48valentine
